Each student who completes a SIBT Diploma / Advanced Diploma will receive a Grade Point Average (GPA).  This is a score between 0 and 4.0 that reflects the average academic achievement during the course.  GPA calculations are relevant only where there is a GPA requirement to proceed to the related degree program at Macquarie University.  For example, Bachelor of Business Administration has a GPA entry requirement of 2.0.

Please also note that Australian citizens and permanent residents require a minimum GPA of 1.5 to transfer to Macquarie University.

The GPA is calculated as follows: GPA = (4 HD + 4D + 3 CR + 2 P + 1 PC + 0 F) divided by E, where:

HD

is the number of units gained at High Distinction grade

D

is the number of units gained at Distinction grade

CR

is the number of units gained at Credit grade

P

is the number of units gained at Pass grade

S

Satisfactory (pass/fail result only awarded for this course)

PC

is the number of units gained at conceded pass grade

E

is the total number of units for which a student is effectively enrolled (excluding units with an S, W, or EX grade)

F

is the number of units awarded an F grade

Maximum possible GPA = 4.0
4 credits = 3.0
1 pass & 3 credits = 2.75
2 passes & 2 credits = 2.5
3 passes & 1 credit = 2.25
4 passes = 2.0

A student who wants to achieve a GPA of 2.0 or better, should not have any F or PC grades.
